Factory fault? Dont know.
However the gearbox are different. VTI-R: Y80(No LSD) GSI: L3
The gearbox WILL fit but i have no idea why you would want to change it. Gsi box is pretty well suited to the motor i thought, DC2/DC2R gearing will be too short. U will be shifting to 3rd at only 70km/h with a Type-R box.
As for faults, not really. The gearboxed themselves tend to be pretty notchy, not too keen to get into 1st and reverse every now and then. IACV may require cleaning if u have a rough idle. Apart from that, just get used to the shaking and rattling if u plan on lowering/stiffening up ur car.
yes will fit, but do u really wanna spend the extra $$ on type-R box , better performance wise but still engine is a gsi, rather look for a b16a vtir box better ratios and cheaper
oh right, i shall look into it thanks for that. i may even eventually get the Vtech motor. would it be worth turbo'in the vetch motor?? or would that just seem stupid ?
***VTEC.
If u wana boost u may as well keep the B18B... save yourself $5000-8000 on converrting the motor. I think u gotta do one or the other, unless u have too much money and dnt know what to do with it.
Worth turboing a b16a or b18c? You can develop serious power. DOHC Vtec + boost = mayhem. You need to factor in at least $5K for turbo kit + ECU tune + (exhaust ?), not to mention engineer's certificate. IF you can afford that u will own an FWD missile. Remember honda's F1 engines in the late 80's-early 90's? Turbo VTEC.
Car is 15 + years old, theres bound to be faults lol.
Sorry to jack the thread, but doesn't the Ls/V-tec transition involve putting in the V-tec head rather than the entire engine? I read elsewhere that doing that was just as reliable as swopping the entire engine.
Isn't a VTEC swop a lot cheaper though?
Depending. Everyone has different opinions... I believe doing a full VTEC conversion is cheaper and less hassle
